Introducing our Community
Diamond A is located west of Arnold Drive on land that used to be a ranch owned by the Berrien Anderson family; its homes have been built on properties that rise up the southeastern slope of Sonoma Mountain to near the top. Diamond A is an exceptionally
quiet area. Songbirds can be heard throughout the day while nighttime sounds include those made by foxes, coyotes, and several species of owl.Subdivisions
The Diamond A community includes multiple units of development: [1] The 5 Diamond A Ranch Estates subdivisions ("Estates"), [2] The Diamond A Ranches subdivision ("Ranches"), and [3] The Diamond A Independents. These three parts include 201, 14, and 35 properties respectively. Each of the 5 Diamond A Ranch Estates subdivisions has its own set of CC&Rs. the Diamond A Ranches has its own set of CC&Rs. A number of private agreements have been developed among several sets of the Independents.
